Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Single action revolver accuracy?

The front sight chases the impact. If it shoots high, raise the sight. Colt single actions are regulated by basic, even crude adjustments.

The front sights are soft and can be raised by squeezing them with lathe bits that have been radiused so the bit doesn’t leave a sharp mark in the front sight when you squeeze it in a vise.

To adjust right or left requires barrel blocks and turning the barrel in the direction of the bullet impact. You shouldn’t need to change it much either way. Bending the front sight can cause the sight to come out of the barrel as it is soldered in the shallow groove in the top of the barrel.
